Communicating Science: Building on a Legacy of Achievements

An electronic version of the exhibit created by Oak Ridge National Laboratory for the BER 50th Anniversary Symposium held on May 21-22, 1997, at the National Academy of Sciences in Washington, D.C.

For the past half-century, the U.S. Department of Energy's Biological and Environmental Research (BER) Program has crossed traditional research boundaries to seek revolutionary solutions in the areas of health, molecular nuclear medicine, genome, global environmental change, and bioremediation. Communicating the research that emerges from these areas is a critical component to expanding the base of scientific knowledge that will later serve science and society.

Sharing scientific results requires the use of various channels of communication:
